Hi friends! I'm Laurie. I live in Traverse City, Michigan, USA. I love to travel and dance with people around the world! I've been a ZIN™ Member since May 2019 and I am proud to have earned my Zumba Instructor license in Miami, learning from Master Instructor Erick Santana, one of the original 10 Instructor instructors! I have been enjoying Zumba as a student since 2010. Zumba is my absolute favorite way to get cardio and light resistance exercise. It is SO therapeutic to dance in communal way with other people who love to dance! Every class feels like a party, and the others in class, who often become friends, are encouraging and non-judgmental. I am currently licensed to teach Zumba. Any class that I teach is guaranteed to be inclusive, accommodating to different fitness levels, and you will be greeted by a warm, genuine and enthusiastic instructor! Join our party!!
